Yes.

Keeps two more ridiculous free agents away from the Flames. Now all we need is for someone to sign Weiss.

Man I don't know if this Leafs roster is good enough to ink these guys long term as cornerstones. Seems like the building of a good but not good enough team with all middle of the road talent with no elite players.

lol, can't believe Bozak is worth that much. Even 4 seems like a stretch. Decent enough center, but 4.5 over 7 years? Yeesh.

Bozak is 5 years. Clarkson's will be even more ridiculous.

7 years @ 5.5 M?

Sounds about right. That's a lot to give guys that aren't really top line guys.

Someone should start a place holder thread for two or three years from now when both of these guys are bought out.

They're going to need to rewrite the CBA to include 2 compliance buyouts a season. Apparently the lockout was just to jerk the fans around because it clearly solved nothing in terms of ridiculous contracts.
